Hi Christian Mauderer ,Hi Gedare Bloom:
I think i can add the porting wpa to my proposal, and it will be the last part of my GSOC goal.
And i guess may left a mouth or less to do the wpa porting, and may can not finish it. but i will try my
best.
What do you think so?
Best Regards
Sichen Zhao

Yes correctly. The hardware independent part of unencrypted WLAN is
already available and working in rtems-libbsd. It's quite likely (but
not 100% sure at this point in time) that we also get a project for the
encrypted part.
Beneath that, to enable the encryption, a essential part is to port the
wpa-supplicant daemon to RTEMS. That will be a complex part and I'm
really not sure if it would be doable as only a part of a GSoC project.
You will have to add quite some additional time for getting familiar
with the problems and how to solve them.
